Getting Warnings/Job Finished status of child Sequences

psluser · Post by **psluser** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 5:16 pm

Hi,

We have a master sequence which calls a number of jobs as well as sequences. If a job directly called from master sequence fails, we see its status as 3[Aborted] in Director log of master sequence. But if a job called from a child sequence fails, we see status for that sequence as success in our master sequence logs.

Is there a way by which we can see a warning or anything in Director logs of Master Sequence to deduce that a job called by child sequence has failed?

Thanks.

You need to abort the child sequence when a job it is running aborts for the 'master' to notice.

Checking "log warnings after activities that finish with status other than OK" in every job sequence is my preferred way of making warnings (as well as errors) visible "up the chain of control".

I try always to create jobs that don't abort.

As do I - with the exception of checkpointed Sequence jobs, they must abort in order to be restartable from the point of failure.

One can design in point-of-failure restart without relying on the brain-dead automatic mechanism.

Thanks Ray & Craig.

I am going ahead with 'log warnings after activities that finish with status other than OK'.
